Hi All,
First Post!
My Navara STX (Diesel, Automatic,11/2008 Build) has developed a coolant leak where the Heater Core Pipe joins to the Heater Core Hose just forward of the firewall. On further investigation the plastic end of the core pipe which the hose clamps around has actually now parted from the pipe, so the car is undrivable.
As far as I can tell its only the plastic end of the core pipe which needs to be replaced but I cant tell how it is bonded onto the aluminium tube, so maybe I do need the entire tube.
My dealer has provided 3 part numbers which need to be replaced 92408EB30A - Tube ($361) ,92411EC000 - Hose ($82), 0155800521 - Clips ($7). The problem is one of these parts is not available in Australia and I was quoted a months wait for it to come from Japan.
I looked online and I can get the tube and the clips for about $60 all up from the USA (how Nissan can charge $361 for a $50 pipe I'll never know), but no one in the USA can cross-reference the 92411EC000 hose which I think is the part they can't get locally. It looks like a straight bit of hose which I suspect we could jury-rig using generic bit of hose or use the old hose for the time being.
Any suggestions to get me on the road quicker would be helpful.
Anyone suggest a good Nissan wreckers in Sydney??
